[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
i have a 5000mah charger from monoprice. it charges at 1a and really is 5000mah since i was able to charge my Nexus 7 fully with it. Monoprice also ships to canada for $5.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
the charger for the Nexus 4 is 5v/1.2A. For the best results get a charger with a 2A output (usually reserved for tablets).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
Aftermarket chargers rated for 2.1a is designed to only output that much current to apple products, you will not get that much to any android device. I have a few chargers and external batteries that have a 2.1a usb port and none of them output more than 1a. I've tested with the GN. N4, N7 and Transformer. Android and apple have different ways that let the charger knows how much current is needed. The charger i linked has a 2.1a port too...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polonordo:
On Google maps I've downloaded the map of a city to use it while I'll have completely no access to the internet.

Now im in that city and have no cellular data and no wi fi during the day and I need to know where I am using the gps and my stored map.

Problem is that if im not connected to any internet source, gps wont function!

When I connect to any WiFi hotspot the GPS starts to work immediately.

Im on 4.2.1 full stock and latest version of maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amishcrusader:
I don't have a data plan, but I am able to use offline maps (yes, with GPS) just fine. Sounds like you may have disabled the warning about turning GPS on when maps starts, and it is using geolocation by wifi only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polonordo:
I'm starting to get worried...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I can use GPS without internet and without mobile networks on Google Maps, but I usually sue the Navigon app.

But If I remember Maps cannot be used without any data connection at the first time, when once have been used it via mobile networks or WiFiot should work well with GPS..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmwitz:
Something is definitely wrong . Probabably nothing serious though. I am able to input an adress in Maps, load the route and then turn of the data connection off and still be guided all the way to the destination -with a blue line- with just gps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polonordo:
OK but that not my case. I know that if I set my directions when connect to the internet and to gps and than turn off intenret ill still be able to use GPS.

But I wanted to know if lets say there is a day that I completely have no access the internet, but I have the city downloaded for offline use. if i just turn on gps and open maps it will not locate me.

Can anyone try and confirm pls? Pls guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
Yes you can use both GPS and your offline maps without a data connection.

[Motorola Atrix HD] gpgorbosjr:
I know this isn't an Atrix HD question, but it is the phone I'm using now, so I figure I'd ask here....

I am on my first month of AT&T Straight Talk after porting my # from Sprint. I just ordered a T-Mo sim (not ST, plain T-mo) to try out their unlimited $70 data plan. I'd rather go with that if the signal around me can hold up good enough for voice. (I tried T-Mo in the G1 days and it SUCKED).

So, I'll have no problem porting my # to T-Mo? And then porting it back to ATT ST if I don't like it, right?

Basically, can you port numbers an unlimited amount of times between the 4 major carriers post/pre-paid?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ericpeacock79:
I have ported my same phone number from verizon prepaid, to straighttalk to at&t family plan.

I think porting numbers is easy-peasy these days.

Even the local small time phone companies are boasting number porting from any carrier.
[Motorola Atrix HD] AzraelsVoice:
You should be able to port it as many times as you want AS LONG as the carrier allows it. If they realize they've ported your number more than once, they may decide to deny it just to be a ****.
[Xperia Z General] SevenD2:
Photo comparisons with the Iphone5 and the Oppo find 5 (which sports similar specs and supposably same Exmor sensor)

Link
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
This pictures were made for comparison yet they have different iso levels. Obviously the device which had the better iso rating for a specific lighting condition got the best results.

I can see all 3 of the devices have a good exposure than the other because of this. It's as if the one who made this want to tell us that all three devices are equal.

If only they shot it on a similar iso level on different lighting conditions then we could determine which is the best on the camera.
[Xperia Z General] s-X-s:
But these devices should allow similar iso levels first of all.. 100% zoom crop is the usual comparison used for actual camera reviews( but in same iso)... but we dont whether these allow same iso... only iphone5 is released to public.. i never used it though:silly:
[Xperia Z General] aliemrey:
xperia z looks nice, but this a comp. between 8mp & 13 mp. early to say something until s4 an iphone6 release date.
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
I'm not sure about that OPPO device... never heard of it so dunno if it's already released or not. But yeah my point is the comparison test on those pictures doesn't have the same ISO levels so I don't feel like criticizing the 3 device with those images as a comparison.

But if those were to test the auto mode of each device then :D iphone5 wins it.
[Xperia Z General] avetny:
damn I like iPhone quality :eek:
[Xperia Z General] opaz12:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] queso69:
Good day XDA! My i9003 galaxy SL internal memory is damage or bricked and I managed to tweak vold.fstab and use my external sd card as internal my problem is how can I flash a custom rom on it? my external sd card is already detected as internal sd.. any idea how to flash a custom rom? Thanks in Advance!

by the way is it possible to partition the external sd card (micro sd card) and can be used as internal sd and external sd?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MR.Volkf:
I think it's can,and cmw detect it not external but internal
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] queso69:
Hi, thanks for the reply so there's a possibility to flash it with custom rom right? but my problem is you can only update in clockworkmod through sd card and it will actually pop up cant mount sd card because i already swap my external sd as internal sd. I hope there will be an option choose zip in internal sd card ;) anyone here can give a guide how to update the rom without sd card? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
custom rom only flash the system partiton and kernel image. so int sd would affected. i think.

and the cwm having option to choose zip fom int sd.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] queso69:
what version of cwm should I flash? to obtain that kind of option?TIA do u have a cwm based 5.0.2.7 for i9003?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
i use cfroot come with bam kernel, verion 5.0.2.8

in option intall zip from sdcard, there are option to choose zip from sdcard and choose zip from internal sdcard.

in you condition, the mmcblk1 (ext sd) now is mmcblk0 (int sd) right?

and you have make 3 partitions in your ext sd to act as int sd for your data partition right?

so, in android, if you copy zip file to you sdcard which is mounted in windows, it will located at mmcblk0p1, that is emmc partition of the cwm.

and you can flash it in option choose zip from internal sdcard

Those are the theory i can think about, cause my phone still having the mmcblk0 and mmcblk1, hence i cant test to proof it.

so in the cwm fstab,

/dev/block/stl11 /cache auto rw
[COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data auto rw[/COLOR]
/dev/block/stl10 /datadata auto rw
[COLOR="red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /emmc auto rw[/COLOR]
/dev/block/stl9 /system auto rw
[COLOR="red"]/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard auto rw[/COLOR]

Recovery fstab

# mount fstype device
#/boot bml /dev/block/bml7

/cache rfs /dev/block/stl11
[COLOR="red"]/data rfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3[/COLOR]
/system rfs /dev/block/stl9
/datadata rfs /dev/block/stl10
#external
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
#internal
[COLOR="Red"]/emmc vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1[/COLOR]

edit, in my understanding, (i still a noob), due to partition assignment for the android, external sd is set to be mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1, so now the external sd is mmcblk0, it have no more hardware to call mmcblk1. hence, not possible to make a extra partition in mmcblk0 as external sd. except mod the kernel and android setting to change mmcblk1p1 to mmcblk0p4.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] $hady:
Are you able to reboot to recovery?

If so, just copy a custom rom to your sd card (cm9 I'd recommend) and browse it in cwm.

Flash the zip file and it should be done.

This should most probably work but still if you face any difficulty then,

Flash a stock rom via odin and then flash a custom rom via cwm.

Good luck. And let me know if it worked.:):)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidBabe:
I'm petite. Have small hands. But I like the screen size and how the battery life is better than the gs3. Also like the multi window feature. But would this phone be too big for me. Will people look at me weird if I put this phone to my ear? Lol I also like the fact that I don't need a tablet if I get this phone lol I currently have an iPhone 5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mutelight:
The best way to tell is go to an Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Best Buy, etc. and try it out for yourself.

I have normal sized hands and when I first got it, it definitely felt on the large size, even coming from an S III but it only took me a couple of days to get used to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
After a day or two you will not even think about how large your new phone is but how small and toy-like you old phone feels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Will people look at you funny? Yes they will. In 6'3" 220lbs and people look at me funny. As others said though is probably best to give it a shot in store and see if you like it. My wife is 5'2" and tiny and after playing with my note now wants one

Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] derekdjodrey:
Yes people will look at you funny. But does it really matter when you have the best phone available right now? I would'nt trade mine for anything and i came from having a gs3 to the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trapperjohn:
Hi,

I came from a thunderbolt and so happy I decided on the note 2. I was thinking of the gs3 and let me tell you the screen size makes doing everything so much nicer. Plus no lag at all.

This is on stock I will make the jump to beans 7 once he releases it.

This is the way you can really see 4g in its full glory.

Thanks,

Bryan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] richii0207:
You get used to the size of the note after a few days, its normal to me now and every other phoneni use feels too small lol

And when it comes to using it, I mainly use it with two hands. I don't text or use the phone while driving so I never need to use it with only one hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
I had the s3 before this too. I was absolutely blown away by how much longer the battery life lasts over the s3. That's the best way to tell considering I do everything in did with the S3, even have my home screens set up the same.

Just like everyone else says its big for about a day then everthing seems tiny any other phone I touch im like wth this thing is soo tiny dont know how we all lived withoyt this perfect phone....but its just like my tv also got a 52" when they first came out n was like wiw this thang is soo big now im like my tv is tiny I need the 81" mmmhuh....but ye go try one in the store or be like me and just order one youll love it especially coming from an iphone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
LOL, no kidding.

We bought a 60" rear projection Sony Wega about 9 years ago (I was in the TV/stereo business for years and still got everything wholesale at that time) and everybody who saw it was dumbfounded.

Now, it still looks pretty big but my Son and I where looking at a 90" Samsung at BestBuy recently and thinking ours looks kinda small........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
My friends make fun of me by holding ridiculously sized rectangle objects (like books) to their ear and acting like they are on the phone Lol....however the ooohs and ahhhhs follow with the capabilities of this phone....its hard to gauge in the store especially if they have a security cord attached. Just grab one... There is a return policy if you dont like it...also stop worrying about what people think of you...I've been providing haters with job security since 1980... I'm an equal opportunity employer. Ha
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petera209:
Hey guys, I have a problem that I haven't seen anyone else with.mi was listening to an Internet radio station on my Nexus 7 at normal volume and suddenly the volume went down to a level that you have to literally put the speaker up to your ear to hear. In the volume control it still reads 100% and I have even tried installing Speaker Boost but nothing changes. Does anyone know what this could be? The speakers are not blown out because you can clearly hear them. They are just too low to be usable. Also, if I have to return this, who do I contact? I only bought it a week ago in a store near me. In case this is important, I have the 32gb model with the 3G. Thank you in advance for your help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynrozturk:
Is it low on everything you've tried, such as mp3 files, movies, etc? It could be a problem with the app or radio station. You need to troubleshoot more and provide more details if possible.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
this (does it apply to all apps?)

And since you bought it in a store nearby, just take it back, they should give you a new one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:

So, i really want my ringer on all the time, i usually don't get many calls but the ones i get are important. So is there a way to set all other notifications (text, email, ect) to vibrate while its still in the sound profile so my phone still rings?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
I wanted the same thing. I think the best way to do it is using an app called Smart Profiles. I haven't actually tried it yet though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] crward:
Hmm, i might have to give that a shot, thanks for the tip.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brianrudy:
I use smart profiles, it works great! One of my most used apps
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Can't you do this natively?

By going into Settings>sound>volumes and setting ringtone to max and everything else to silent (slider all the way to the left should be silent), and make sure Ringtone with vibration is checked in the sound settings as well?

It should make calls full volume (with vibration) and everything else on vibrate only.

Or am I mistaken/not understanding the request?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Good call. I was thinking he wanted this profile only at certain times, but that's not stated in the OP, just my assumption.
